CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/697,533, filed Jul. 13, 2018, the content of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.

FIELD

The present disclosure relates to novel compounds that are inhibitors of the kinase IRAK4. The disclosure also relates to methods for preparing the compounds and to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds.

BACKGROUND

Interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase-4 (IRAK4) is a serine-threonine kinase which acts as a mediator in interleukin-1/Toll-like receptor (IL-1/TLR) signaling cascades. More particularly, IRAK4 is involved in activation of adaptor protein myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MyD88) signaling cascades and is hypothesized to play a role in inflammatory and fibrotic disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), gout, Lyme disease, arthritis, psoriasis, pelvic inflammatory disease, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Sjogren's syndrome, viral myocarditis, acute and chronic tissue injury, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), alcoholic hepatitis and kidney disease, including chronic kidney disease and diabetic kidney disease. In addition, IRAK4 plays a role in certain cancers and is hypothesized to play a role in inflammation associated with gastrointestinal infections, including C. difficile. Signaling through IL-1R/TLR results in the activation of MyD88 which recruits IRAK4 and IRAK1 to form a signaling complex. This complex then interacts with a series of kinases, adaptor proteins, and ligases, ultimately resulting in the activation of nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB), activator protein-1 (API), cyclic AMP-responsive element-binding protein (CREB) and the interferon-regulatory factors (IRFs), including IRF5 and IRF7, inducing the generation of pro-inflammatory cytokines and type I interferons.

Therefore, inhibitors of IRAK4 may be useful in the treatment of inflammatory and fibrotic disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), gout, Lyme disease, arthritis, psoriasis, pelvic inflammatory disease, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Sjogren's syndrome, inflammation associated with gastrointestinal infections, including C. difficile, viral myocarditis, acute and chronic tissue injury, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), alcoholic hepatitis and kidney disease, including chronic kidney disease and diabetic kidney disease.

Rheumatol., 346|June 2016, 12; 344-357 Published online 12 May 2016) (Valaperti, A. et al., INNATE IMMUNE INTERLEUKIN-1RECEPTOR-ASSOCIATED KINASE 4 EXACERBATES VIRAL MYOCARDITIS BY REDUCING CCR5⁺CD11b⁺ MONOCYTE MIGRATION AND IMPAIRING INTERFERON PRODUCTION, Circulation, 128 Sep. 2013 14; 1542-1554), as well as Type I interferonopathies, such as Aicardi-Goutières syndrome, Familial chilblain lupus, and Retinal vasculopathy with cerebral leukodystrophy, (Lee-Kirsch et al., TYPE I INTERFERONOPATHIES—AN EXPANDING DISEASE SPECTRUM OF IMMUNODYSREGULATION, Semin. Immunopathol. (2015) 37:349-357), (Leaf, I. A. et al., PERICYTE MYD88 AND IRAK4 CONTROL INFLAMMATORY AND FIBROTIC RESPONSES TO TISSUE INJURY, The Journal of Clinical Investigation, 127|January 2017, 1; 321-334), (Seki, E. et al., TLR4 ENHANCES TGF-β SIGNALING AND HEPATIC FIBROSIS, Nature Medicine, 13|Nov. 2007, 11; 1324-1332), (Garcia-Martinez, I. et al., HEPATOCYTE MITOCHONDRIAL DNA DRIVES NONALCHOLIC STEATOHEPATITIS BY ACTIVATION OF TLR9, The Journal of Clinical Investigation, 126|March 2016, 3; 859-864).

In addition, certain cancers, including lymphomas, may contain one or more mutations in the MYD88 adaptor protein, leading to a constitutively active signaling cascade that may promote survival of tumor cells. (Kelly et al., IRAK4 inhibitors for autoimmunity and lymphoma, J. Exp. Med. 2015 Vol. 212 No. 13 2189-2201)

Therefore, an inhibitor of IRAK4 may be useful in the treatment of cancers, including lymphomas.

There are currently no approved IRAK4 inhibiting pharmaceuticals. Therefore, it would be useful to provide an IRAK4 inhibiting compound with properties suitable for administration as a pharmaceutical agent to a mammal, particularly a human. Considerations for selecting a pharmaceutical compound are multifactorial. Compound characteristics including on-target potency, pharmacokinetics, pKa, solubility, stability (e.g., metabolic stability) and off-target liabilities (including potential cardiac toxicity), as well as potential drug-drug interactions are frequently profiled.

Inhibition of the cardiac ion channel coded by human ether-à-gogo-related gene (hERG) can lead to cardiac arrhythmia, which is a major concern in drug discovery and development. Automated electrophysiological patch clamp allows assessment of hERG channel effects early in drug development to aid medicinal chemistry programs and has become routine in pharmaceutical companies.

WO2016210034, WO2016210036, WO2015150995, WO2016127024, and WO2016210037 recite compounds said to be useful as IRAK4 inhibitors.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Definitions

The following description sets forth exemplary methods, parameters and the like. It should be recognized, however, that such description is not intended as a limitation on the scope of the present disclosure but is instead provided as a description of exemplary embodiments.

A dash (“-”) that is not between two letters or symbols is used to indicate a point of attachment for a substituent. For example, —C(O)NH₂ is attached through the carbon atom. A dash at the front or end of a chemical group is a matter of convenience; chemical groups may be depicted with or without one or more dashes without losing their ordinary meaning. A wavy line drawn through a line in a structure indicates a point of attachment of a group. Unless chemically or structurally required, no directionality is indicated or implied by the order in which a chemical group is written or named.

The prefix “C_(u-v)” indicates that the following group has from u to v carbon atoms. For example, “C₁₋₆ alkyl” indicates that the alkyl group has from 1 to 6 carbon atoms. C₀ indicates that no carbons are present, or in other words, a bond to the next substituent.

Reference to “about” a value or parameter herein includes (and describes) embodiments that are directed to that value or parameter per se. In certain embodiments, the term “about” includes the indicated amount ±10%. In other embodiments, the term “about” includes the indicated amount ±5%. In certain other embodiments, the term “about” includes the indicated amount ±1%. Also, to the term “about X” includes description of “X”. Also, the singular forms “a” and “the” include plural references unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, e.g., reference to “the compound” includes a plurality of such compounds and reference to “the assay” includes reference to one or more assays and equivalents thereof known to those skilled in the art.

“Alkyl” refers to an unbranched or branched saturated hydrocarbon chain. As used herein, alkyl has 1 to 20 carbon atoms (i.e., C₁₋₂₀ alkyl), 1 to 8 carbon atoms (i.e., C₁₋₈ alkyl), 1 to 6 carbon atoms (i.e., C₁₋₆ alkyl), or 1 to 4 carbon atoms (i.e., C₁₋₄ alkyl). Examples of alkyl groups include methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, iso-butyl, tert-butyl, pentyl, 2-pentyl, isopentyl, neopentyl, hexyl, 2-hexyl, 3-hexyl, and 3-methylpentyl. When an alkyl residue having a specific number of carbons is named by chemical name or identified by molecular formula, all positional isomers having that number of carbons may be encompassed; thus, for example, “butyl” includes n-butyl (i.e., —(CH₂)₃CH₃), sec-butyl (i.e., —CH(CH₃)CH₂CH₃), isobutyl (i.e., —CH₂CH(CH₃)₂) and tert-butyl (i.e., —C(CH₃)₃); and “propyl” includes n-propyl (i.e., —(CH₂)₂CH₃) and isopropyl (i.e., —CH(CH₃)₂).

“Cyano” refers to the group —CN.

“Halo” refers to —F, —Cl, —Br, —I.

Certain commonly used alternative chemical names may be used. For example, a divalent group such as a divalent “alkyl” group, a divalent “aryl” group, etc., may also be referred to as an “alkylene” group or an “alkylenyl” group, an “arylene” group or an “arylenyl” group, respectively. Also, unless indicated explicitly otherwise, where combinations of groups are referred to herein as one moiety, e.g., arylalkyl, the last mentioned group contains the atom by which the moiety is attached to the rest of the molecule.

The terms “optional” or “optionally” means that the subsequently described event or circumstance may or may not occur, and that the description includes instances where said event or circumstance occurs and instances in which it does not. Also, the term “optionally substituted” refers to any one or more hydrogen atoms on the designated atom or group may or may not be replaced by a moiety other than hydrogen. “Optionally substituted” may be zero to the maximum number of possible substitutions, and each occurrence is independent. When the term “substituted” is used, then that substitution is required to be made at a substitutable hydrogen atom of the indicated substituent. An optional substitution may be the same or different from a (required) substitution.

When a moiety is “optionally substituted,” and reference is made to a general term, such as any “alkyl,” “alkenyl,” “alkynyl,” “haloalkyl,” “cycloalkyl,” “aryl” or “heteroaryl,” then the general term can refer to any antecedent specifically recited term, such as (C₁₋₃ alkyl), (C₄₋₆ alkyl), —O(C₁₋₄ alkyl), (C₃₋₁₀ cycloalkyl), O—(C₃₋₁₀ cycloalkyl) and the like. For example, “any aryl” includes both “aryl” and as well as examples of aryl, such as phenyl or naphthyl and the like. Also, the term “any heterocyclyl” includes heterocyclyls, such as oxetanyl, tetrahydropyranyl, morpholino, piperidinyl and the like. In the same manner, the term “any heteroaryl” includes heteroaryls, such as pyridine, pyridazine, thiazole, thiadiazole, quinoline and the like.

Some of the compounds exist as tautomers. Tautomers are in equilibrium with one another. For example, amide containing compounds may exist in equilibrium with imidic acid tautomers. Regardless of which tautomer is shown, and regardless of the nature of the equilibrium among tautomers, the compounds are understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to comprise both amide and imidic acid tautomers. Thus, the amide containing compounds are understood to include their imidic acid tautomers. Likewise, the imidic acid containing compounds are understood to include their amide tautomers.

Any formula or structure given herein, is also intended to represent unlabeled forms as well as isotopically labeled forms of the compounds. Isotopically labeled compounds have structures depicted by the formulas given herein except that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having a selected atomic mass or mass number. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the disclosure include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, fluorine and chlorine, such as, but not limited to ²H (deuterium, D), ³H (tritium), ¹¹C, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹⁵N, ¹⁸F, ¹⁵O, ¹⁸O, ³F, ³²F, ³⁵S, ³⁶Cl and ¹²⁵I. Various isotopically labeled compounds of the present disclosure, for example those into which radioactive isotopes such as ³H, ¹³C and ¹⁴C are incorporated. Such isotopically labelled compounds may be useful in metabolic studies, reaction kinetic studies, detection or imaging techniques, such as positron emission tomography (PET) or single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) including drug or substrate tissue distribution assays or in radioactive treatment of patients.

The disclosure also includes “deuterated analogues” of compounds of Formula I in which from 1 to n hydrogens attached to a carbon atom is/are replaced by deuterium, in which n is the number of hydrogens in the molecule. Such compounds exhibit increased resistance to metabolism and are thus useful for increasing the half-life of any compound of Formula I when administered to a mammal, particularly a human. See, for example, Foster, “Deuterium Isotope Effects in Studies of Drug Metabolism,” Trends Pharmacol. Sci. 5(12):524-527 (1984). Such compounds are synthesized by means well known in the art, for example by employing starting materials in which one or more hydrogens have been replaced by deuterium.

Deuterium labelled or substituted therapeutic compounds of the disclosure may have improved DMPK (drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics) properties, relating to distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME). Substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life, reduced dosage requirements and/or an improvement in therapeutic index. An ¹⁸F labeled compound may be useful for PET or SPECT studies. Isotopically labeled compounds of this disclosure and prodrugs thereof can generally be prepared by carrying out the procedures disclosed in the schemes or in the examples and preparations described below by substituting a readily available isotopically labeled reagent for a non-isotopically labeled reagent. It is understood that deuterium in this context is regarded as a substituent in the compound of Formula I.

The concentration of such a heavier isotope, specifically deuterium, may be defined by an isotopic enrichment factor. In the compounds of this disclosure any atom not specifically designated as a particular isotope is meant to represent any stable isotope of that atom. Unless otherwise stated, when a position is designated specifically as “H” or “hydrogen”, the position is understood to have hydrogen at its natural abundance isotopic composition. Accordingly, in the compounds of this disclosure any atom specifically designated as a deuterium (D) is meant to represent deuterium.

In many cases, the compounds of this disclosure are capable of forming acid and/or base salts by virtue of the presence of amino and/or carboxyl groups or groups similar thereto.

Provided are also pharmaceutically acceptable salts, hydrates, solvates, tautomeric forms, polymorphs, and prodrugs of the compounds described herein. “Pharmaceutically acceptable” or “physiologically acceptable” refer to compounds, salts, compositions, dosage forms and other materials which are useful in preparing a pharmaceutical composition that is suitable for veterinary or human pharmaceutical use.

The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” of a given compound refers to salts that retain the biological effectiveness and properties of the given compound, and which are not biologically or otherwise undesirable. “Pharmaceutically acceptable salts” or “physiologically acceptable salts” include, for example, salts with inorganic acids and salts with an organic acid. In addition, if the compounds described herein are obtained as an acid addition salt, the free base can be obtained by basifying a solution of the acid salt. Conversely, if the product is a free base, an addition salt, particularly a pharmaceutically acceptable addition salt, may be produced by dissolving the free base in a suitable organic solvent and treating the solution with an acid, in accordance with conventional procedures for preparing acid addition salts from base compounds. Those skilled in the art will recognize various synthetic methodologies that may be used to prepare nontoxic pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts. Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts may be prepared from inorganic and organic acids. Salts derived from inorganic acids include hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, and the like. Salts derived from organic acids include acetic acid, propionic acid, glycolic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, malic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, mandelic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, p-toluene-sulfonic acid, salicylic acid, and the like. Likewise, pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts can be prepared from inorganic and organic bases. Salts derived from inorganic bases include, by way of example only, sodium, potassium, lithium, ammonium, calcium and magnesium salts. Salts derived from organic bases include, but are not limited to, salts of primary, secondary and tertiary amines, such as alkyl amines (i.e., NH₂(alkyl)), dialkyl amines (i.e., HN(alkyl)₂), trialkyl amines (i.e., N(alkyl)₃), substituted alkyl amines (i.e., NH₂(substituted alkyl)), di(substituted alkyl) amines (i.e., HN(substituted alkyl)₂), tri(substituted alkyl) amines (i.e., N(substituted alkyl)₃), alkenyl amines (i.e., NH₂(alkenyl)), dialkenyl amines (i.e., HN(alkenyl)₂), trialkenyl amines (i.e., N(alkenyl)₃), substituted alkenyl amines (i.e., NH₂(substituted alkenyl)), di(substituted alkenyl) amines (i.e., HN(substituted alkenyl)₂), tri(substituted alkenyl) amines (i.e., N(substituted alkenyl)₃, mono-, di- or tri-cycloalkyl amines (i.e., NH₂(cycloalkyl), HN(cycloalkyl)₂, N(cycloalkyl)₃), mono-, di- or tri-arylamines (i.e., NH₂(aryl), HN(aryl)₂, N(aryl)₃), or mixed amines, etc. Specific examples of suitable amines include, by way of example only, isopropylamine, trimethyl amine, diethyl amine, tri(iso-propyl) amine, tri(n-propyl) amine, ethanolamine, 2-dimethylaminoethanol, piperazine, piperidine, morpholine, N-ethylpiperidine, and the like.

The term “substituted” means that any one or more hydrogen atoms on the designated atom or group is replaced with one or more substituents other than hydrogen, provided that the designated atom's normal valence is not exceeded. The one or more substituents include, but are not limited to, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, alkoxy, acyl, amino, amido, amidino, aryl, azido, carbamoyl, carboxyl, carboxyl ester, cyano, guanidino, halo, haloalkyl, haloalkoxy, heteroalkyl, heteroaryl, heterocyclyl, hydroxy, hydrazino, imino, oxo, nitro, alkylsulfinyl, sulfonic acid, alkylsulfonyl, thiocyanate, thiol, thione, or combinations thereof. Polymers or similar indefinite structures arrived at by defining substituents with further substituents appended ad infinitum (e.g., a substituted aryl having a substituted alkyl which is itself substituted with a substituted aryl group, which is further substituted by a substituted heteroalkyl group, etc.) are not intended for inclusion herein. Unless otherwise noted, the maximum number of serial substitutions in compounds described herein is three. For example, serial substitutions of substituted aryl groups with two other substituted aryl groups are limited to ((substituted aryl)substituted aryl) substituted aryl. Similarly, the above definitions are not intended to include impermissible substitution patterns (e.g., methyl substituted with 5 fluorines or heteroaryl groups having two adjacent oxygen ring atoms). Such impermissible substitution patterns are well known to the skilled artisan. When used to modify a chemical group, the term “substituted” may describe other chemical groups defined herein. Unless specified otherwise, where a group is described as optionally substituted, any substituents of the group are themselves unsubstituted. For example, in some embodiments, the term “substituted alkyl” refers to an alkyl group having one or more substituents including hydroxyl, halo, alkoxy, cycloalkyl, heterocyclyl, aryl, and heteroaryl. In other embodiments, the one or more substituents may be further substituted with halo, alkyl, haloalkyl, hydroxyl, alkoxy, cycloalkyl, heterocyclyl, aryl, or heteroaryl, each of which is substituted. In other embodiments, the substituents may be further substituted with halo, alkyl, haloalkyl, alkoxy, hydroxyl, cycloalkyl, heterocyclyl, aryl, or heteroaryl, each of which is unsubstituted. One skilled in the art will recognize that substituents and other moieties of the compounds of the generic formula herein should be selected in order to provide a compound which is sufficiently stable to provide a pharmaceutically useful compound which can be formulated into an acceptably stable pharmaceutical composition. Compounds which have such stability are contemplated as falling within the scope of the present invention. It should be understood by one skilled in the art that any combination of the definitions and substituents described above should not result in an inoperable species or compound.

As used herein, “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” or “pharmaceutically acceptable excipient” includes any and all solvents, dispersion media, coatings, antibacterial and antifungal agents, isotonic and absorption delaying agents and the like. The use of such media and agents for pharmaceutically active substances is well known in the art. Except insofar as any conventional media or agent is incompatible with the active ingredient, its use in the therapeutic compositions is contemplated. Supplementary active ingredients can also be incorporated into the compositions.

A “solvate” is formed by the interaction of a solvent and a compound. Solvates of salts of the compounds described herein are also provided. Hydrates of the compounds described herein are also provided.

Thus, one aspect of the disclosure is a method of treating a metabolic disease comprising administering a compound of the disclosure in combination with one or more compounds useful for the treatment of metabolic diseases to a subject, particularly a human subject, in need thereof.

Pharmaceutical Compositions

While it is possible for the active ingredients to be administered alone it may be preferable to present them as pharmaceutical formulations (compositions). The formulations, both for veterinary and for human use, of the invention comprise at least one active ingredient, as above defined, together with one or more acceptable carriers therefor and optionally other therapeutic ingredients. The carrier(s) must be “acceptable” in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and physiologically innocuous to the recipient thereof.

The formulations include those suitable for the foregoing administration routes. The formulations may conveniently be presented in unit dosage form and may be prepared by any of the methods well known in the art of pharmacy. Techniques and formulations generally are found in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa.). Such methods include the step of bringing into association the active ingredient with inactive ingredients (e.g., a carrier, pharmaceutical excipient, etc.) which constitutes one or more accessory ingredients. In general the formulations are prepared by uniformly and intimately bringing into association the active ingredient with liquid carriers or finely divided solid carriers or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product.

In certain embodiments, formulations suitable for oral administration are presented as discrete units such as capsules, cachets or tablets each containing a predetermined amount of the active ingredient.

In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical formulations include one or more compounds of the invention together with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or excipients and optionally other therapeutic agents. Pharmaceutical formulations containing the active ingredient may be in any form suitable for the intended method of administration. When used for oral use for example, tablets, troches, lozenges, aqueous or oil suspensions, dispersible powders or granules, emulsions, hard or soft capsules, syrups or elixirs may be prepared. Compositions intended for oral use may be prepared according to any method known to the art for the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions and such compositions may contain one or more agents including sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents and preserving agents, in order to provide a palatable preparation. Tablets containing the active ingredient in admixture with non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipient which are suitable for manufacture of tablets are acceptable. These excipients may be, for example, inert diluents, such as calcium or sodium carbonate, lactose, lactose monohydrate, croscarmellose sodium, povidone, calcium or sodium phosphate; granulating and disintegrating agents, such as maize starch, or alginic acid; binding agents, such as cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, starch, gelatin or acacia; and lubricating agents, such as magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc. Tablets may be uncoated or may be coated by known techniques including microencapsulation to delay disintegration and adsorption in the gastrointestinal tract and thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period. For example, a time delay material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate alone or with a wax may be employed.

The amount of active ingredient that is combined with the inactive ingredients to produce a dosage form will vary depending upon the host treated and the particular mode of administration. For example, in some embodiments, a dosage form for oral administration to humans contains approximately 1 to 1000 mg of active material formulated with an appropriate and convenient amount of carrier material (e.g., inactive ingredient or excipient material). In certain embodiments, the carrier material varies from about 5 to about 95% of the total compositions (weight:weight). In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions described herein contain about 1 to 800 mg, 1 to 600 mg, 1 to 400 mg, 1 to 200 mg, 1 to 100 mg or 1 to 50 mg of the compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions described herein contain not more than about 400 mg of the compound of Formula I. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions described herein contain about 100 mg of the compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

It should be understood that in addition to the ingredients particularly mentioned above the formulations disclosed herein may include other agents conventional in the art having regard to the type of formulation in question, for example those suitable for oral administration may include flavoring agents.

Veterinary compositions comprising at least one active ingredient as above defined together with a veterinary carrier are further provided.

Veterinary carriers are materials useful for the purpose of administering the composition and may be solid, liquid or gaseous materials which are otherwise inert or acceptable in the veterinary art and are compatible with the active ingredient. These veterinary compositions may be administered orally, parenterally or by any other desired route.

Effective dose of active ingredient depends at least on the nature of the condition being treated, toxicity, whether the compound is being used prophylactically (lower doses), the method of delivery, and the pharmaceutical formulation, and will be determined by the clinician using conventional dose escalation studies.

Routes of Administration

One or more compounds of Formula I (herein referred to as the active ingredients), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, are administered by any route appropriate to the condition to be treated. Suitable routes include oral, rectal, nasal, topical (including buccal and sublingual), vaginal and parenteral (including subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous, intradermal, intrathecal and epidural), and the like. It will be appreciated that the preferred route may vary with for example the condition of the recipient. An advantage of the compounds of this invention is that they are orally bioavailable and can be dosed orally. Accordingly, in one embodiment, the pharmaceutical compositions described herein are oral dosage forms. In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions described herein are oral solid dosage forms.

Biological Assays

Biological assays were conducted to measure activity against TNFα and IRAK4. As summarized in Table 3, the test compounds are inhibitors of IRAK4.

IRAK4 Monocyte TNFα Cell Based Assay Procedure:

Cryopreserved human monocytes (Stem Cell Technologies) were thawed, diluted in RPMI with GlutaMAX™ (Gibco® 200 mM L-alanyl-L-glutamine) (10 mM HEPES, 1× Pen-Strep, 55 μM B-mercaptoethanol, 1 mM Sodium pyruvate) media containing 10% FBS to 0.125×10⁶ cells/ml and recovered at 37° C. for 2 hours. The cell suspension was then plated at a density of 5,000 cells/well onto black 384 well Greiner clear bottom plates. Plates were pre-spotted with test compounds and serially diluted in DMSO where 40 nL/well were delivered using the Echo 550 acoustic liquid dispenser (Labcyte®) for a final DMSO concentration of 0.1%. Plated cells were treated with compound for 1 hour at 37° C. Cells were then stimulated with 50 pg/ml of LPS (Sigma) excluding outside columns of plate used for unstimulated cell control wells. Cells were incubated for an additional 4 hours at 37° C. Cells were then spun out of the media and 5 μl of sample were taken and analyzed for total TNFα content using the TR-FRET Human TNFα detection system (CisBio). This system utilizes two labeled antibodies (cryptate and XL665) that bind to two different epitopes of the TNFα molecule and produce FRET signal proportional to the concentration of TNFα in the sample. Detection antibodies are mixed 50:50 and 5 μL were dispensed into each well. Plates were covered with clear seals and incubated at room temp overnight. The following morning plates were read using an Envision 2103 Multilabeled reader (PerkinElmer) with excitation/emission/FRET emission at 340 nm/615 nm/665 nm, respectively. Fluorescence intensities at 615 nm and 665 nm emission wavelengths were expressed as a ratio (665 nm/615 nm). Percent of control was calculated as follows: % Control=100×(Ratio_(Sample)−Ratio_(0% stimuiation))/(Ratio_(100% Stimulation)−Ratio_(0% Stimulation)) where unstimulated cells (0% stimulation) were the negative control and stimulated cells (100% stimulation) were used as the positive control. IRAK4 Biochemical Assay Procedure:

IRAK4 enzyme (Carna Biosciences, Chuo-ku, Kobe, Japan) activity was measured by detecting phosphorylated peptide substrate formation using an antibody against the phosphorylated peptide substrate. This is a time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) immunoassay, based on the STK1 KinEASE Assay (Cisbio, Bedford, Mass.). The assay was designed as a simple two-step, endpoint assay (a 5 μl enzyme reaction followed by 5 μl stop and detect Solution) performed in ProxiPlate-384 Plus plates (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, Mass.). Staurosporine, a non-selective kinase inhibitor was used as a positive control. Compounds diluted in DMSO were spotted into 384 well plates using a Labcyte® Echo 550 Liquid Handling System prior to addition of IRAK4 enzyme and peptide substrate. Reaction solutions were delivered using a Multi-Flo (Bio-Tek Instruments). The enzyme and peptide solution was incubated with compound for 15 minutes at room temp before the reaction was initiated by the addition of ATP. The standard 5 μl reaction mixture contained 500 μM ATP, 2 μM peptide (STK1 Peptide), 0.75 nM of IRAK4 in reaction buffer (50 mM HEPES, pH 7.0, 0.02% NaN₃, 0.01% BSA, 0.1 mM Orthovanadate, 5 mM MgCl₂, 0.025% NP-40, 1 mM DTT). After 120 min of incubation at room temperature, 5 μl of Stop and Detect Solution (1:100 Cryptate labeled anti-phosphorylated peptide antibody solution and 125 nM Tracer in a 50 mM HEPES pH 7.0 detection buffer containing sufficient EDTA) was added. The plate was then further incubated for 60 minutes at room temperature and read on Envision 2103 Multilabeled reader (PerkinElmer) with excitation/emission/FRET emission at 340 nm/615 nm/665 nm, respectively. Fluorescence intensities at 615 nm and 665 nm emission wavelengths were expressed as a ratio (665 nm/615 nm). Percentage of inhibition was calculated as below: % Inhibition=100×(Ratio_(Sample)−Ratio_(0% Inhibition))/(Ratio_(100% Inhibition)−Ratio_(0% Inhibition)) The 0% inhibition value comes from control wells lacking inhibitor. The 100% inhibition value comes from control wells containing a saturating amount of known inhibitor staurosporine. Hepatic Stability:

Metabolic Stability in Cryopreserved Hepatocytes:

Complete HT medium was prepared by the addition of 1 mL Torpedo Antibiotic Mix to 45 mL of InVitroGRO™ HT medium. Supplemented KHB medium consisted of KrebsHenseleit buffer with amikacin (84 μg/mL), calcium chloride (1 mM), gentamicin (84 μg/mL), HEPES (20 mM), heptanoic acid (4.2 μM) and sodium bicarbonate (28.5 mM) and the pH was adjusted to 7.4 at 37° C. using 1 M NaOH or 1 M HCl. The human cryopreserved hepatocytes were pooled from ten adult donors (Celsis, Lot: HBZ).

Vials containing cryopreserved hepatocytes were removed from liquid nitrogen and immediately immersed in a 37° C. water bath. The vials were shaken gently until the contents had thawed and were then immediately emptied into 48 mL of pre warmed Complete HT Medium in a 50 mL conical tube. Cells remaining in the vial were resuspended with 1.0 mL of pre warmed Complete HT Medium and added to the conical tube. The tube was capped and then gently inverted several times to resuspend the hepatocytes. The cell suspension was centrifuged at 50× g at room temperature for 5 minutes and the supernatant discarded. The cell pellet was loosened by gently swirling the centrifuge tube and Supplemented KHB medium was added to obtain a target density of 2×10⁶ cells/mL. The total cell count and the proportion of viable cells were determined by Trypan Blue dye exclusion using a hemocytometer.

For incubations, aliquots of hepatocyte suspension (250 μl containing 500,000 cells) were added to 250 μl of 2 μM test compound or metabolic stability controls in supplemented KHB in duplicate wells in a 24-well plate. Final concentration in the incubations were 1×10⁶ cells/mL and 1 μM test compound. 7-Hydroxycoumarin and testosterone, compounds known to be efficiently metabolized by hepatocytes, were used as positive controls in parallel incubations (2 μM final concentration of each compound). The incubation was carried out with gentle shaking at 37° C. under a humid atmosphere of 95% air/5% CO₂ (v/v). Aliquots (50 μL) were removed after 0, 1, 3, and 6 hours and added to 100 μl IS/Q quenching solution. After termination, 150 μl of water was added, the plates were centrifuged at 3000×g for 10 min, and aliquots of the supernatant were analyzed on a Micromass Quattro Premier mass spectrometer coupled to an Agilent 1200 Series HPLC system with a Leap Technologies HTC PAL autosampler as described below.

Liquid Chromatography—Mass Spectrometry:

Quantification of test compound and metabolic stability controls was performed by analyte/internal standard peak area ratios (PAR) measured on a Micromass Quattro Premier XL tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometer coupled to an Agilent 1200 Series HPLC system with a Leap Technologies HTC PAL autosampler. The column used was a Phenomenex® MercuryMS™, Synergi Max-RP (100 Å pore size, 2.5 μm particle size, 20×2.0 mm). Mobile Phase A consisted of 0.2% (v/v) formic acid in 99% water/1% acetonitrile (v/v). Mobile Phase B consisted of 0.2% (v/v) formic acid in 5% water/95% acetonitrile (v/v). Elution was achieved by the following series of linear gradients: initial conditions of 0% B, holding for 30 s, then increasing to 100% B over 90 s, and then returning to the initial conditions over 1 s. The system was allowed to re-equilibrate for a minimum of 60 s between injections. The sample injection volume was 10 μL.

LTP Plasma Protein Binding:

A stock solution of test compound in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) having a final concentration of 10 mM was prepared and used in all experiments.

Commercially available chemicals were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, Mo.) and VWR (West Chester, Pa.). The cell culture medium (CCM) was Gibco Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum.

Equilibrium Dialysis Assay:

Pooled plasma (from at least 3 males and 3 females) was from human, beagle dog, Sprague-Dawley rat, cynomolgus monkey, and rhesus monkey. Sodium EDTA was used as the anticoagulant.

Competitive equilibrium dialysis was conducted at 37° C. using human plasma versus with CCM containing 10% of FBS, both sides of matrix spiked with sample at final concentrations of 2 μM. Prior to the study, dialysis membrane was soaked for approximately one hour in 0.133 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.4. Spiked plasma (1 mL) and CCM (1 mL) were placed into opposite sides of the assembled dialysis cells. For assessment of recovery, after the 24-hour equilibration period in a 37° C. water bath, plasma samples were drained into pre-weighed polypropylene tubes containing 1 mL of CCM (without compound) and CCM samples were drained into pre-weighed tubes containing 1 mL of related blank plasma. Post-dialysis plasma and CCM weights were measured and recorded for calculations.

Liquid Chromatography—Mass Spectrometry:

The quantification of test compound was performed by analyte/internal standard peak area ratios (PAR) measured on a Q-Exactive mass spectrometer coupled to an Agilent 1260 Series HPLC system with a Leap Technologies HTS PAL autosampler. Mobile Phase A consisted of 0.2% (v/v) formic acid in 99% water/1% acetonitrile (v/v). Mobile Phase B consisted of 0.2% (v/v) formic acid in 5% water/95% acetonitrile (v/v). The sample injection volume was 10 μL.

pK_(a) Determinations:

Sample Preparation: A stock solution of test compound in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) having a final concentration of 10 mM was prepared and used in all experiments. The DMSO stocks were thawed, spun, and sonicated in a 40° C. water bath to facilitate dissolution.

pK_(a) Analysis: The 10 mM DMSO stock solutions were diluted 100 fold with 10 mM HCl for a final compound concentration of 100 μM and 1% DMSO. The compounds were then transferred into 24 consecutive wells of a 96 well PCR plate for analysis with the aqueous method. For compounds that did not give high quality data in the aqueous method, the 10 mM DMSO stock solutions were diluted 100 fold with 2 mM HCl and methanol, such that the final concentration of methanol was 60%, compound concentration was 100 μm, and DMSO concentration was 1%. The compounds were transferred into 24 consecutive wells of a 96 well plate for analysis using the co-solvent method.

Analysis: All data was obtained using a pKa PRO Analyzer (AATI, Ames, Iowa). For the aqueous method, an electrophoretic separation is performed in parallel across 24 different pH values, providing a direct measure of overall compound charge vs. pH. The compounds are detected by UV at 228 nm. The average pH spacing between buffer points is 0.4 pH units covering a typical pH range of 1.7-11.2.

The co-solvent method is suitable for analysis of compounds possessing low aqueous solubility (typically a predicted intrinsic solubility of <10 μg/ml). The average pH spacing between buffer points is 0.4 pH units covering a pH range of 1.7-11.2. Four consecutive CE runs are performed for each compound starting with 60% co-solvent buffers and decreasing to 30% co-solvent buffers.

Norfloxacin is used as a daily performance-indicating standard.

Calculation of Results: The total number of pKa values is predicted by relating mobility and compound molecular weight using pKa Estimator® software (AATI, Ames, Iowa).

Automated hERG Assay at Charles River—Cleveland (Formerly ChanTest)

The FASTPatch® Assay (Charles River,) was used to examine the in vitro effects of various compounds on the cloned hERG potassium channel encoded by the KCNH2 gene and stably expressed in HEK293T cells. Vehicle, test and control article formulations were prepared by diluting DMSO stock solutions in HB-PS (HEPES-buffered physiological saline solution), and were delivered to cells via the QPatch robot pipetting system to a final concentration of 0.3% DMSO. Test compound final concentrations of 0.3, 1, 3, 10 and 30 uM were applied to cells (n 3, where n=the number of cells/concentration) in ascending order in at least three minute intervals separated by solution exchange. The positive control, 50 nM Cisparide, was applied in the same manner. Cell membrane currents were recorded at room temperature with up to 48 parallel patch clamp amplifiers in the QPatch HT® or QPatch HTX® system, and only cells with validated whole-cell recordings (seal resistance ≥200 MΩ and leak current ≤25% channel current) were used. Onset and block of hERG current was measured using a stimulus voltage pattern consisting of a 500 ms prepulse to −40 mV, a 2-second activating pulse to +40 mV, followed by a 2-second test pulse to −40 mV. The pulse pattern was repeated continuously at 10-second intervals from a holding potential of −80 mV. TurboSol analysis for test compound solubility was performed for each concentration tested using a Nephelostar reader measuring light scatter from a 635 nm laser source. Based on validation experiments, light scatter above four times the background level was considered an indication of the presence of particles in suspension.
